Aether as invited arataki itto to liyue after becoming a hero again(give this man a break)
Aether is fond of itto, mostly for treating him like a human being. Plus he is an idiot, a child in an adult body.
" Hey traveler, my bro, thanks for inviting me to liyue! I haven't been outside inazuma before. So tell me what to expect."
"You see when we get there itto, all I have to say that is big and the people there are great." Aether said smiling, mostly he gets to see his friends.
"And the food there is amazing! I can't wait to see what food xiangling is going to make us!" Paimon said imagining the food waiting.
"Oh wow, they seem amazing! Ahaha, I can't wait to try the food for this xiangling person is going to make us."
"Moo"
"Whats that ushi?"We here already?"
Arriving at liyue harbor, some people were waiting for them. Chongyu,xingqiu, xiangling, and unexpectedly xiao who was standing above them.
"Welcom back Aether paimon! I have an amazing new dish you can try!"
"Welcome back, my liege, I hope your visit to inazuma is exciting, and I hope it is a visit here again, full of excitement."
"Welcome back. I hope no evil spirits tried to attack you during your visit in inazuma; I hope the same here. Though near to me, evil spirit won't try to get you"
Xiao came down greeting aether. Some of them shocked that he was there in front of him.
"Welcome back. I hope your stay here is enjoyable, and remember, call out my name in time of need"
Just then itto and ushi came out the boat
"Wow, this amazing! It's just as you said traveler!"
Itto notices the people around him
"Are these your friends? Hello aether friends! I'm arataki itto the one and oni! Wow, you guys are short"
"Hello! Nice to meet you arataki itto! Would you be up to try my new dish?"
"Would I! Wait, does it have beans in it? I can eat unless I want to be dead"
" nope, no beans included! But I'll note that if you come to visit again!"
Xiao was examining it to, making sure he won't harm the traveler or anyone, 'This guy is loud and tall. It might be taller them morax.' Looking up more, he noticed
'Horns? A Demon.'
"Traveler get away from that demon"
"Demon?! He's a demon?! Traveler, you befriend a demon?"
Before aether can explain anything and that he was a good demon.
Xiao already had his mask up, and Chongyu had his exorcist things out.
"Hey! I'm no demon, I'm an oni!"
"Wait stop! Itto is good!" Said aether getting in front of itto.
"YEAH ,Puls demon and oni are not the same thing. But is anyone feeling a little weak here?" Itto clearly affected my Chongyun
"Itto, isn't an oni a demon in inazuma?" Paimon said at his stupidity
"Well, uh, no! Oni are better than demons. As I'm the pride of oni"
"Okk.. Well then, " Paimon siad wondering how someone can be so stupid
"Onis are demons; demons are onis."
"Demon are evil spirits"
"Itto is my friend, guys calm down itto won't hurt anyone!"
A little Hesitant xiao and chongyun calmed down
"I won't hesitate to rid him of this world if he makes one wrong move"
"Im sorry traveler, it my job as an exorcist to rib of evil. I didn't know he was with you."
" its fine guys, I'll just make sure to say something before I bring someone like itto, if i ever do.
"Well come one the food is not going to eat itself! And don't worry all the food doesn't have deans, plus for xiao I made almond tofu!"
Following xiangling they went to eat.
